Even though a lot of publishers are moving game release dates into next year there are some key titles that will still see a release in time for Christmas. One of those is the new Super Mario Bros. game for Wii which Nintendo has now confirmed will hit shelves on November 15th in the U.S. European gamers have to wait another five days until November 20th to get it.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii was a bit of a surprise at E3 earlier this year and takes the typical Mario game and pushes it firmly into the multiplayer category. Nintendo is really appealing to the whole family playing together with this one, or you and a bunch of friends. Holding the Wii Remote horizontally and using the D-pad with buttons to control your character you interact with other players to progress. So you end up throwing each other around the screen which just sounds like it is going to be a lot of fun.
